Crude Oil WTI Futures Market News and Commentary

Crude Oil Prices Plummet as the Strait of Hormuz Reopens

May WTI crude oil (CLK26) on Friday closed down -10.84 (-11.45%), and May RBOB gasoline (RBK26) closed down -0.1589 (-5.02%).  Crude oil and gasoline prices plummeted on Friday, with crude falling to a 5-week low and gasoline sliding to a 1-week low.   Energy prices sank on Friday after Iran said the Strait of Hormuz is now "completely open" to commercial shipping, paving the way for a peace deal to end the war and potentially freeing up millions of barrels of crude oil and fuel stuck inside the Persian Gulf.  The prospects for a formal peace agreement also solidified when Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire on Thursday, and the truce held up on Friday.
